I've bought ALOT of stuff from Bullseye over the years. They have continued to have very fair prices and I almost bought the GP100 last week! However I chose not to because I already have a 2.25" SP101 and I was wanting to add a longer barrel .357 like the Blackhawk or 4" GP100. That new matt black model looks sweet!
I do love bullseye. Internet reviews seem to state otherwise but I've always received great service there. A friend I went shooting with today was having ftf issues with his recently bought kahr cw 40 while I was trying out my new ruger. He got it fixed for free while they were in the middle of closing and it now runs flawlessly.
Anyway the ruger shoots like a dream, the d/a trigger pull is so smooth and the sights are great. I am very happy with this purchase I fed her 50 rds .38 sp, 25 125 gr .357, and 25 158 gr .357. I learned there is quite a difference between 125 and 158 gr (this is my first .357 btw). This gun will mainly see .38's and 125 gr .357, mostly because I have to go out of my way to find 158 gr .357 and for $10 more than 125 gr. I can put .38's wherever I want on the paper but ill def need some practice with the .357's
Congrats on a gorgeous looking gun! A question from a semi-newbie. I want to Ruger site and the picture of this model looks different, in particular it has shiny finish and different handles. Is your Ruger some kind of custom/ limited? Here is a link to the site:
They are Distributor Exclusives from TALO. They make only a certain amount of them.. I can't rememeber the numbers, but something like 1,500-2,500 per edition. These are reffered to as "Wiley Clapp" Gp100 (the guy who helped design the changes for the special edition).
This years model is like last years, except it is in a black finish and the front sight is a different. Ruger does not have the newest version shown on their site yet. Ryu825 has the latest version.
I do like the front sights on the stainless Wiley more but I hear the finish is easy to scratch on the gun itself. I could just switch them out if I really wanted..
I like the matt black. I'm seriously considering Cerakoting my SP101 in satin black.
Yea that'd be pretty sweet. Even better if its the engraved one I also saw at bullseye... This gp100 may have just a 3" barrel but that's about the only small thing about it. It's a good size for carrying but not concealing unless its cold outside.
